997 C2S PCCB converted to steel, how too inside!!
Hi there
Thanks from guys here and the GT3 section on helping me find what parts would work, well now I've finally done it and can confirm what you need to convert a PCCB equipped C2S back to steel whilst still retaining the larger calipers.
Yesterday, I applied a coat of banana dodo juice and sealed the wheels.
Today its having all the brakes changed to steels:-
- 997 Turbo disc all round
- GT3 PF 08 Compound front pads
- Carrera S PF 08 Compound front pads for the rear
- New brake sensors all round
The new 997 steel brake disc and Performance Friction 08 front/rear pads
Car looking shiny on the ramp!
Pictures of the ceramic disc
Pictures of the steel disc, looking clean for now!
So in short, if anyone ever has a C2S with PCCB and they want to convert to steel you need:-
1. 997 Turbo disc all round £650 - £850 cost for all 4 depending on discount!
2. Front pads 997 Turbo and GT3 pads will fit, or continue using your ceramic stock pads, they will work fine! (Performance Friction 08 pads, approx £550 all round, Porsche ceramic Pads approx £700 all round)
3. Rear pads, you need to use 997 Carrera S front pads for the rear calipers, or the stock ceramic pads work fine!
Pad wise I've gone with PF08's though as they are supposed to be superb on road and track, zero fade and will last upto approx 10 hard driven trackdays, wheras the stock ceramic pads are only good for 4-5 track days and cost more.

Glad to hear you figured it out. It might be helpful for others searching for this info later if you post the part numbers as well.
